Allergy Symptoms
Allergy symptoms differ depending on the type of allergy. Allergy symptoms typically involve the airways, sinuses, nasal passages and skin. They can range from mild to severe. Some patients may develop anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal reaction that causes swelling in the throat and breathing difficulties. Symptoms may develop within seconds of exposure and include abdominal…
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a method of allergy treatment that involves introducing small amounts of allergen to the body and then gradually building up doses over a period of time in order for immunity to develop. There are two types of immunotherapy treatments: subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), also known as allergy shots, and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), or allergy…
Sublingual Immunotherapy
If you suffer from allergies, and medical treatments fail to bring relief, you might benefit from immunotherapy. Traditionally delivered subcutaneously – through injections in the skin – immunotherapy helps your body build up a tolerance to the allergen responsible for your symptoms. Sublingual immunotherapy relies on drops that are taken orally, rather than on allergy…
Medical Therapy
Allergy symptoms can often be relieved through the use of over-the-counter or prescription medications and nasal sprays. Medical therapy provides short-term relief and may be enough of a solution for people with seasonal allergies or those whose symptoms are not severe. If symptoms do not improve with the use of medications, patients should consult with…
Rhinitis
Many people who suffer from this condition often confuse allergic rhinitis (hay fever) with nonallergic rhinitis. This is because the symptoms are very similar but the cause is not. Unlike hay fever, nonallergic rhinitis involves blood vessels in the nose rather than an immune system response. Symptoms & Causes Unlike hay fever, an allergen-related illness,…
Otitis Media
Ear infection caused by allergens can be one explanation for chronic otitis media. The tube that drains fluid from the middle ear to the nose and throat can become blocked due to inflamed tissue. This builds up fluid in the ear and can cause infection. Symptoms & Causes All the symptoms of ear infections are…
Hay Fever
How we diagnose and treat hay fever? Few conditions are more common or more irritating than having allergies or hay fever. Medically referred to as allergic rhinitis, hay fever can strike quickly and inflict cold-like symptoms in a matter of minutes. If you suffer from hay fever frequently you are not alone: about everyone one…
Balloon Sinuplasty
Many patients suffer from chronic sinusitis but have exhausted their treatment options. These individuals may be good candidates for Balloon Sinuplasty. This minimally invasive surgical solution is a safe and effective method of enlarging the sinus passages for easier breathing and a drastic reduction in sinusitis symptoms. Chronic sinusitis is a widespread condition affecting 37…
Nasal & Sinus Surgery
Our practice offers premier nasal and sinus surgical treatment options for conditions that either require surgery or aren’t responding to other medical or procedural treatment plans. Most of these can be managed or cured using nonsurgical treatments. In some cases, though, our physicians may recommend surgical solutions. Whether or not a patient requires surgery depends…
